How Can a Tune-Up Help Your Air Conditioner During the Summer Months?

06/18/2015

Before you start filling up the calendar
with summer vacations and trips, take a few minutes
to schedule time to have your air conditioner examined by a heating and cooling professional. Routine maintenance may
not seem like a sense of urgency, but regular air
conditioner service does more for your air conditioner than you think.

Why do tune-ups help?

Minimize
need for repairs – Most people realize that the
summer months in Englewood are not the greatest time
for an air conditioner to go out. Scheduling air
conditioner service helps you be more proactive and our expert
technicians can identify any red flags that suggest
trouble ahead for your air conditioner.

Ensure
efficient operations – Not only can tune-ups pinpoint
areas of concern, but it also increases the efficiency of your air
conditioner. Air conditioners are
investments that you should continually check on
and maintain to make sure you are getting the most out or your system.

Reduce expenses
– You want the best performance possible out of your
air conditioner. A comfortable living area is the main goal, but a properly
running air conditioner also lowers the cost of your
energy bills and adds years to the life of your
system.

What will a technician do during
an air conditioning tune-up?

Check the
filter status – It’s recommended to change your filters at the very least every three months, so the technician will take a
look at the cleanliness of the
filter. Filters that are dirty force your air conditioner to run
harder than it should and can also lower the quality of
the air in your living space.

Check
refrigerant charge – Too much and too little are certainly not
good things when talking about refrigerant
levels. Too little refrigerant can cause additional stress on
your system and too much will reduce how efficiently your
air conditioner maintains cool temperatures in your home.

Check
electrical connections – There are lots of moving parts involved in an air conditioner and when those
moving parts become loose it increases the risk of
sparks or other damage to the electrical components.

Clean the
coils – Dust and other particles can accumulate on
both your outdoor and indoor coils, which can hurt efficiency
and raise the amount of energy used.
